Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs)
What is a KTP?
A KTP is a tried and tested three-way partnership between business, the University and one of our graduates (a ‘KTP Associate’), and aims to generate innovative ideas to the company. KTP programmes are the most successful government initiative to date that supports businesses throughout the UK.
Once a business identifies an area of need or support, the graduate will work on that specific project to achieve a working solution. They typically last between one and three years, during which time both the business and the KTP Associate are supported by academics within the University.
